Around 1700, English gained the verb 'cop,' meaning "to get hold of, catch, capture."
By the mid-1800s, 'cop' is recorded in print as being used to refer to what police do to criminals.
Police were then called ‘coppers’...one who ‘cops.’
'Copper' was then shortened to 'cop.'

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Since RFK Jr wants to ban “petroleum-based” food dyes,
does that mean he’s going to ban methylene blue, his favorite unregulated supplement?
Because that’s…also derived from petroleum.

No, you're not eating gasoline. The "petroleum food dye" narrative is disinformation.
RFK Jr. and the wellness industry ignore basic chemistry to sell fear about food dyes and your health.

Banning synthetic food dyes won’t improve health—it may worsen it.
FOOD DYES AREN’T THE ISSUE.
1️⃣ they’re safe at ingested levels.
2️⃣ they’re not banned in other countries.
3️⃣ they’ll be replaced with other dyes that aren’t safer, as stable, or as studied.

An Easter thought:
Those who shout the loudest about being “good Christians” are often the ones acting in complete opposition to what Jesus lived and died for.
That’s especially true when it comes to science and public health.

Even self-proclaimed science supporters have blind spots when misinformation supports their beliefs.
It’s not just anti-vax MAHA influencers—it’s also liberal wellness warriors fear-mongering about "toxic" food.

Trump wants to get it over early in his term, so he and his fellow billionaires can buy up everything cheap and then enjoy the ride upward

A Piece of Glass Thinner Than a Credit Card Could Solve America’s $25 Billion Energy Problem
New windows can insulate better than most walls, and some can even survive being hit with a two-by-four shot from a cannon.

When people say "DEI" and "extreme wokeness" I challenge them to articulate exactly what they mean with that.
What was "baseline" wokeness? Thus, what counts as extreme? Are they against integration? What are the facts and figures to demonstrate harm?
They rarely do/can.
Now, here we are.
